Brad, in 2019 I purchased your Wordpress course on Udemy which helped me complete a contract. Fast forward 4 years I'm now working for a Fortune 500.

I owe my career to you. You are awesome, thank you so much.

I'm almost done with the theme development portion of your WordPress course, Brad, and I love it. Best web development course I've ever taken.

A lot of people ask me, will I learn wordpress or not. My simple answer, learn. You can learn it. No issue at all. My secret is, I started php in 2016. At that time, I learned wordpress 😁

Brad your teaching skills are amazing, I too have done the Wordpress course (a couple of years ago) and I now have a small design agency where I build out custom block based themes for events and local business. I also use Local by Flywheel (which is amazing) and I use their dedicated hosting platform too which makes the experience pushing and pulling sites (including their database) SO easy!! However discussing the direction of Wordpress in 2024, I don’t like the FSE. As I want our designers to UX design every component and I only want content editors to add blocks of content. With NO interaction with the designs on the front end. So currently I’m achieving this using PHP only and using ACF blocks. Would love to know your thoughts on this approach, I don’t yet know REACT and my vanilla JS skills probably aren’t good enough yet to move into REACT so for now this is a great way for me to continue personal developing whilst earning a living.

Hey, I will soon start my job as a junior wordpress developer. In my initial days at work they will train me in wp. But what I feel is wp dev in comparision to the mainstream development like Java, golang, js full stack it's mostly limited to blogs/stores. We don't use some innovative tech like some new database for logging, a message broker for async process, redis, aws etc. So don't you think it limits us as an engineer and pretty much left with a framework/tech developer. Really looking forward to your opinion on this. And I'm your student on udemy wp course. thanks for such great tutorial.

okay that was pretty interesting and something new, seems powerful

This is good. If you can't find a job, make wordpress themes and plugins.
For plugins you can make some features free. Or you can make a monthly subscription.

I'd really love a video on how to best setup VS Code for work with PHP. What extensions, code formatter etc. I should use. My colleagues who write PHP all use PHPStorm so no tips from there 😉

[Shawn-Mosher]

Alternative to wp-now and localwp is wp-env. It persists the database and can configure setup. It’s run in docker. Also made by Wordpress.

Hi, I still find using ACF fields much better than Gutemberg blocks for custom theme development. I find it much more complex to develop a custom block with Gutemberg than with the ACF plugin.
